Hull City manager Shota Arveladze claimed Bristol City made his team “look like kids” in their 5-0 demolition at Ashton Gate, as the Georgian was forced to apologise to Tigers supporters for the performance.
Hull delivered their consensus worst performance of the season as they were carved open at will by the Robins front three of Andi Weimann, Antoine Semenyo and Chris Martin, with City leading 3-0 at half-time before adding two more after the break.
In the build-up to the game Arveladze had branded City a “direct team” and compared their approach to Luton Town and Millwall, it was a characterisation that drew a wry smile from Nigel Pearson in his post-match press conference.
